The Police prosecutor, Insp. Modupe Olaluwoye, told the court that the defendant committed the offence at 12.30a.m. on Dec. 4, 2021, at Sabo Cemetery, Ikorodu Road, Lagos.

Section 165 provides five years imprisonment for misconduct with regards to corpses, while section 328 stipulates 14 years imprisonment for receiving fraudulently obtained property.
